作词 : Lightfoot
Listen up and I'll tell you what you'll do
Forget about music and alcohol too

Forget about your baby
We got other work for you

Better drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to rise and shine
There's one less cause in the world
To be leaving for

It was back in 39
When I was one year old

Sitting by the backyard fence
And the world had turned so cold

Drink yer glasses empty now
Was all that they were told

Drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to hit the sky

To the tune of thunder
There's no time to wonder why

We'd love to take life over that is plain

Forget about sorrow, forget about pain

And watch a John Wayne movie
To remind us once again

Better drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to hit the line

You got one less cause in the world
To be leaving for

Drink yer glasses girls and boys
It's time to hit the sky

To the tune of thunder
There's a tear in every eye

I'd like to take things one at a time

Forget about reason, forget about rhyme

Because beg, steal or borrow
You got another hill to climb

So drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to hit the road

There's one less cause in the world
To be leaving for

Drink yer glasses girls and boys
It's time to hit the sky

To the tune of thunder
There's no time to wonder why

We'd like to take life over again

When time of war had passed away into the rain

And watch a John Wayne movie
To remind us of the plains

Just drink yer glasses empty now
It's time to rise and shine

There's one less cause in the world
To be leaving for
